TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to ENA nucleic acid pharmaceuticals capable of modifying splicing of mRNA precursors. More specifically, the present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotide compounds to splicing enhancer sequences within exon 19, 41, 45, 46, 44, 50, 55, 51 or 53 of the dystrophin gene, as well as therapeutic agents for muscular dystrophy comprising the compounds.

BACKGROUND ART

Muscular dystrophy, which is a genetic muscular disease, is roughly classified into Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). DMD is the most frequently occurring genetic muscular disease and occurs at a ratio of 1 per 3,500 male births. DMD patients show symptoms of weakening of muscles in their childhood; thereafter, muscular atrophy progresses consistently and results in death at the age of around 20. Currently, there is no effective therapeutic for DMD. Development of therapeutics is strongly demanded by DMD patients throughout the world. BMD in many cases occurs in adulthood and most of the patients are capable of normal survival though slight weakening of muscles is observed. Mutations of deletions in the dystrophin gene have been identified in ⅔ of DMD and BMD cases. The progress of clinical symptoms in DMD or BMD patients is predictable depending on whether such deletions disrupt the translational reading frame of mRNA or maintain that reading frame (Monaco A. P. et al., Genomics 1988: 2:90-95). Although molecular biological understanding of DMD has been thus deepened, no effective method for treating DMD has been established yet.

When DMD patients have a frame shift mutation, dystrophin protein disappears completely from patients' skeletal muscles. On the other hand, dystrophin protein is produced from in-frame mRNA in BMD patient-derived muscle tissues, though the protein is incomplete. As a method for treating DMD, there is known a method in which an out-frame mutation (the reading frame of amino acids is shifted) is converted to an in-frame mutation (the reading frame is maintained) by modifying dystrophin mRNA (Matsuo M., Brain Dev 1996; 18:167-172). Recently, it has been reported that the mdx mouse synthesized a deletion-containing dystrophin as a result of induction of exon skipping with an oligonucleotide complementary to the splicing consensus sequence of the dystrophin gene (Wilton S. D. et al., Neuromusc Disord 1999: 9:330-338; Mann C. J. et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2001: 98:42-47). In these studies, exon skipping is induced using as a target the splicing consensus sequence located on the border between two exons.

It is asserted that splicing is regulated by splicing enhancer sequences (SESs). In fact, it has been demonstrated that by disrupting the SES within exon 19 of the dystrophin gene with an antisense oligonucleotide complementary thereto, complete skipping of exon 19 occurs in normal lymphoblastoid cells (Takeshima Y. et al., J Clin Invest 1995: 95:515-520; Pramono Z. A. et al., Biochem Biophys Res Commun 1996: 226:445-449).

It has been also reported that by introducing an oligonucleotide complementary to the SES within exon 19 of the dystrophin gene to thereby induce exon skipping, a deletion-containing dystrophin was successfully produced in muscular cells derived from DMD patients carrying exon 20 deletion (Takeshima Y. et al., Brain & Development 2001: 23:788-790; Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. H11-140930; Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-10790). This indicates that repairing of the reading frame shift by inducing exon 19 skipping with an antisense oligonucleotide complementary to the SES within exon 19 of the dystrophin gene results in production of a dystrophin protein whose function is partially restored; and thus it is possible to change DMD to BMD. If it is possible to convert DMD, a severe myoatrophy, to slight BMD, prolonging patients' lives can be expected.

At present, oligonucleotide analogues having stable and excellent antisense activity are being developed (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-297097).

It is an object of the present invention to provide therapeutics with broader applicable range and higher efficacy, by improving antisense oligonucleotides to the SES within exon 19, 41, 45, 46, 44, 50, 55, 51 or 53 of the dystrophin gene.

The term “oligonucleotide” used in the present invention encompasses not only oligo DNA or oligo RNA, but also an oligonucleotide in which at least one D-ribofuranose constituting the oligonucleotide is 2′-O-alkylated; an oligonucleotide in which at least one D-ribofuranose constituting the oligonucleotide is 2′-O,4′-C-alkylenated; an oligonucleotide in which at least one phosphate constituting the oligonucleotide is thioated; or a combination thereof. Such oligonucleotides in which at least one D-ribofuranose constituting the oligonucleotides is 2′-O-alkylated or 2′-O,4′-C-alkylenated have high binding strength to RNA and high resistance to nuclease. Thus, they are expected to produce higher therapeutic effect than natural nucleotides (i.e. oligo DNA or oligo RNA). Further, an oligonucleotide in which at least one phosphate constituting the oligonucleotide is thioated also has high resistance to nuclease and, thus, is expected to produce higher therapeutic effect than natural nucleotides (i.e. oligo DNA or oligo RNA). An oligonucleotide comprising both the modified sugar and the modified phosphate as described above has still higher resistance to nuclease and, thus, is expected to produce still higher therapeutic effect.

With respect to the oligonucleotide of the present invention, examples of the modification of sugar include, but are not limited to, 2′-O-alkylation (e.g. 2′-O-methylation, 2′-O-aminoethylation, 2′-O-propylation, 2′-O-allylation, 2′-O-methoxyethylation, 2′-O-butylation, 2′-O-pentylation, or 2′-O-propargylation) of D-ribofuranose; 2′-O,4′-C-alkylenation (e.g. 2′-O,4′-C-ethylenation, 2′-O,4′-C-methylenation, 2′-O,4′-C-propylenation, 2′-O,4′-C-tetramethylation, or 2′-O,4′-C-pentamethylation) of D-ribofuranose; 3′-deoxy-3′-amino-2′-deoxy-D-ribofuranose; and 3′-deoxy-3′-amino-2′-deoxy-2′-fluoro-D-ribofuranose.

With respect to the oligonucleotide of the present invention, examples of the modification of phosphate include, but are not limited to, phosphorothioate, methylphosphonate, methylthiophosphonate, phosphorodithioate and phosphoroamidate.

With respect to Y in formulas (G1), (A1), (C1) and (U1), examples of the alkoxy group with 1-6 carbon atoms include, but are not limited to, methoxy group, aminoethoxy group, propoxy group, allyloxy group, methoxyethoxy group, butoxy group, pentyloxy group, and propargyloxy group.

With respect to Z in formulas (G2), (A2), (C2) and (T2), examples of the alkylene group with 1-5 carbon atoms include, but are not limited to, methylene group, ethylene group, propylene group, tetramethylene group and pentamethylene group.

With respect to R¹ in formulas (G1^(a)), (A1^(a)), (C1^(a)) and (U1^(a)), examples of the alkyl group with 1-6 carbon atoms include, but are not limited to, methyl group, aminoethyl group, propyl group, allyl group, methoxyethyl group, butyl group, pentyl group and propargyl group.

The oligonucleotide of the invention, the compounds represented by general formulas (I), (I′) to (VII′) and (I″) to (XXI″) (hereinafter, referred to as the “compound of the invention”) and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof are effective as pharmaceuticals for treating muscular dystrophy.

The compound of the invention may be synthesized based on the method described in the literature (Nucleic Acids Research, 12: 4539 (1984)) using a commercial synthesizer (e.g. PerkinElmer Model 392 employing the phosphoroamidite method). As to the phosphoroamidite reagents used in the synthesis, commercial reagents are available for natural nucleosides and 2′-O-methylnucleosides (i.e. 2′-O-methylguanosine, 2′-O-methyladenosine, 2′-O-methylcytosine and 2′-O-methyluridine). As to 2′-O-alkyl-guanosine, -adenosine, -cytosine and -uridine where the alkyl group has 2-6 carbon atoms, they may be synthesized or purchased as described below.

2′-O-aminoethyl-guanosine, -adenosine, -cytosine and -uridine may be synthesized according to Blommers et al., Biochemistry (1998), 37: 17714-17725.

With respect to the controlled pore glass (DPG) used in the synthesizer, use of a modified CPG (described in Example 12b of Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. H7-87982) allows synthesis of oligonucleotides to which 2-hydroxyethylphosphate group is attached at the 3′ end. Further, use of 3′-amino-Modifier C3 CPG, 3′-amino-Modifier C7 CPG; Glyceryl CPG (Glen Research), 3′-specer C3 SynBase CPG 1000 or 3′-specer C9 SynBase CPG 1000 (Link Technologies) allows synthesis of oligonucleotides to which a hydroxyalkylphosphate group or aminoalkylphosphate group is attached at the 3′ end.

The compounds of the present invention and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof have an effect of inducing skipping of exon 19, 41, 45, 46, 44, 50, 55, 51 or 53 of the dystrophin gene. The compounds of the invention represented by general formulas (I), (I′) to (VII′) and (I″) to (XXI″) and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof have high binding strength to RNA and high resistance to nuclease. Therefore, the compounds of the invention and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof are useful as pharmaceuticals for treating muscular dystrophy.

When the compound of the invention or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof is used as a therapeutic for muscular dystrophy, the compound or a pharmacologically acceptable salt or ester thereof may be administered by itself. Alternatively, the compound or a pharmacologically acceptable salt or ester thereof may be mixed with appropriate pharmacologically acceptable excipients or diluents, prepared into tablets, capsules, granules, powders, syrups, etc. and administered orally; or prepared into injections, suppositories, patches, external medicines, etc. and administered parenterally.

These formulations may be prepared by well-known methods using additives such as excipients [organic excipients e.g. sugar derivatives (such as lactose, white sugar, glucose, mannitol and sorbitol), starch derivatives (such as corn starch, potato starch, a starch and dextrin), cellulose derivatives (such as crystalline cellulose), gum arabic, dextran, pullulan and the like; and inorganic excipients e.g. silicate derivatives (such as light silicic acid anhydride, synthetic aluminium silicate, calcium silicate and magnesium aluminate metasilicate), phosphates (such as calcium hydrogenphosphate), carbonates (such as calcium carbonate), sulfates (such as calcium sulfate) and the like], lubricants (e.g. metal salts of stearic acid such as stearic acid, calcium stearate, and magnesium stearate; talc; colloidal silica; waxes such as bees wax and spermaceti; boric acid; adipic acid; sulfates such as sodium sulfate; glycol; fumaric acid; sodium benzoate; DL leucine; lauryl sulfates such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium lauryl sulfate; silicic acid materials such as silicic acid anhydride and silicic acid hydrate; above-mentioned starch derivatives), binders (e.g. hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, macrogol, compounds enumerated above as excipients), disintegrants (e.g. cellulose derivatives such as low-substituted hydroxypropylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, calcium carboxymethylcellulose, internally crosslinked sodium carboxymethylcellulose; chemically modifies starches/celluloses such as carboxymethyl starch, sodium carboxymethyl starch, crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone), emulsifiers (e.g. colloidal clay such as bentonite, Veegum; metal hydroxides such as magnesium hydroxide, aluminium hydroxide; anionic surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate, calcium stearate; cation surfactants such as benzalkonium chloride; nonionic surfactants such as polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, sucrose fatty acid ester), stabilizers (e.g. paraoxybenzoic acid esters such as methyl paraben, propyl paraben; alcohols such as chlorobutanol, benzyl alcohol, phenylethyl alcohol; benzalkonium chloride; phenols such as phenol, cresol; thimerosal; dehydroacetic acid; sorbic acid), flavoring/aromatic agents (e.g. conventionally used sweeteners, acidifiers, aromatics, etc.) or diluents.

The therapeutic agent of the present invention comprises preferably 0.05-5 gmoles/ml of the compound of the invention or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, 0.02-10% w/v of carbohydrates or polyhydric alcohols, and 0.01-0.4% w/v of pharmacologically acceptable surfactants. More preferable range for the content of the compound of the invention or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof is 0.1-1 μmoles/ml.

For the above carbohydrates, monosaccharides and/or disaccharides are especially preferable. Examples of these carbohydrates and polyhydric alcohols include, but are not limited to, glucose, galactose, mannose, lactose, maltose, mannitol and sorbitol. These may be used alone or in combination.

Preferable examples of surfactants include, but are not limited to, polyoxyethylene sorbitan mono- to tri-esters, alkyl phenyl polyoxyethylene, sodium taurocholate, sodium cholate and polyhydric alcohol esters. Especially preferable are polyoxyethylene sorbitan mono- to tri-esters, where especially preferable esters are oleates, laurates, stearates and palmitates. These surfactants may be used alone or in combination.

More preferably, the therapeutic agent of the invention comprises 0.03-0.09 M of pharmacologically acceptable neutral salt, e.g. sodium chloride, potassium chloride and/or calcium chloride.

Still more preferably, the therapeutic agent of the invention may comprise 0.002-0.05 M of pharmacologically acceptable buffer. Examples of preferable buffers include sodium citrate, sodium glycinate, sodium phosphate and tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane. These buffers may be used alone or in combination.

The above-described therapeutic agent of the invention may be supplied in the state of solution. However, considering the storing of the therapeutic agent for some period of time, usually, it is preferable to lyophilize the therapeutic agent for the purpose of stabilizing the antisense oligonucleotide and thereby preventing the lowering of its therapeutic effect. The lyophilized therapeutic agent may be reconstructed with a dissolving liquid (e.g. distilled water for injection) at the time of use, and used in the state of solution. Thus, the therapeutic agent of the invention encompasses such a lyophilized therapeutic agent to be reconstructed with a dissolving liquid at the time of use so that individual components fall under specific concentration ranges. In order to enhance the solubility of the lyophilized product, the therapeutic agent may further contain albumin or amino acids such as glycine.

When the compound of the invention or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof is administered to humans, for example, the compound or salt may be administered orally or intravenously at a dose of about 0.1-100 mg/kg body weight per day, preferably 1-50 mg/kg body weight per day for adult patients once a day or divided into several portions. The dose and the number of times of administration may be appropriately changed depending on the type of disease, conditions, the age of the patient, the route of administration, etc.

Administration of the compound of the invention or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof to DMD patients may be performed, for example, as described below. Briefly, the compound of the invention or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof may be prepared by methods well-known to those skilled in the art, sterilized by conventional methods and then formulated into, for example, an injection solution with a concentration of 1200 μg/ml. This solution is, for example, drip-fed to the patient intravenously in the form of infusion so that the antisense oligonucleotide is administered to the patient at a dose of, for example, 20 mg/kg body weight. Such administration may be repeated, for example, 4 times at intervals of 2 weeks. Then, while confirming the therapeutic effect using indicators such as expression of dystrophin protein in muscle biopsy tissues, serum creatine kinase levels and clinical symptoms, this treatment is repeated appropriately. If therapeutic effect is recognized and yet no definite side effect is observed, this treatment is continued; in principle, the administration is continued throughout life time.

BEST MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinbelow, the present invention will be described specifically with reference to the following Examples. These Examples are provided only for the purpose of illustration, and they are not intended to limit the present invention.

EXAMPLE 1

Synthesis of HO-G^(e2p)-C^(e2p)-C^(e2p)-T^(e2p)-G^(e2p)-A^(mp)-G^(mp)-C^(mp)-U^(mp)-G^(mp)- A^(mp)-U^(mp)-C^(mp)-U^(mp)-G^(mp)-C^(mp)-U^(mp)-G^(mp)-G^(mp)-C^(mp)-A^(mp)-U^(mp)- C^(mp)-U^(mp)-U^(mp)-G^(mp)-C^(e2p)-A^(e2p)-G^(e2p)-T^(e2p)-T^(e2p)-CH₂CH₂OH (AO1)

The subject compound was synthesized with an automated nucleic acid synthesizer (PerkinElmer ABI model 394 DNA/RNA synthesizer) at a 40 nmol scale. The concentrations of solvents, reagents and phosphoroamidites at individual synthesis cycles were the same as used in the synthesis of natural oligonucleotides. The solvents, reagents and phosphoroamidites of 2′-O-methylnucleoside (adenosine form: product No. 27-1822-41; guanosine form: product No. 27-1826-41; citydine form: product No. 27-1823-02; uridine form: product No. 27-1825-42) were products from Amersham Pharmacia. As non-natural phosphoroamidites, those compounds disclosed in Example 14 (5′-O-dimethoxytrityl-2′-O,4′-C-ethylene-6-N-benzoyladenosine-3′-O-(2-cyanoethyl N,N-diisopropyl)phosphoroamidite), Example 27 (5′-O-dimethoxytrityl-2′-O,4′-C-ethylene-2-N-isobutylylguanosine-3′-O-(2-cyanoethyl N,N-diisopropyl)phosphoroamidite), Example 22 (5′-O-dimethoxytrityl-2′-O,4′-C-ethylene-4-N-benzoyl-5-methylcitydine-3′-O-(2-cyanoethyl N,N-diisopropyl)phosphoroamidite), and Example 9 (5′-O-dimethoxytrityl-2′-O,4′-C-ethylene-5-methyluridine-3′-O-(2-cyanoethyl N,N-diisopropyl)phosphoroamidite) of Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-297097 were used. The subject compound was synthesized on a modified control pore glass (CPG) (disclosed in Example 12b of Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. H7-87982) as a solid support. However, the time period for condensation of amidites was 15 min.

The protected oligonucleotide analogue having the sequence of interest was treated with concentrated aqueous ammonia to thereby cut out the oligomer from the support and, at the same time, remove the protective cyanoethyl groups on phosphorus atoms and the protective groups on nucleic acid bases. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the resultant residue was purified by reversed phase HPLC [Shimadzu model LC-10VP; column: Merck, Chromolith Performance RP-18e (4.6×100 mm); solution A: 5% acetonitrile, 0.1 M aqueous triethylamine acetate (TEAA), pH 7.0; solution B: acetonitrile B %: 10%→45% (10 min, linear gradient); 60° C.; 2 ml/min; 254 nm]. The fraction eluted at 6.06 min was collected. After the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, 80% aqueous acetic acid solution was added to the residue, which was then left for 20 min to remove the DMTr group. After distilling off the solvent, the resultant residue was dissolved in 0.5 ml of water and filtered with Ultrafree-MC (Millipore: product No. UFC4 OHV 25). The solvent was distilled off to thereby obtain the compound of interest.

The compound was identified by negative ion ESI mass spectrometric analysis (calculated value: 10628.04; measured value: 10626.86).
